Can’t say anything. But that am ‘gasping’ myself. 🙂 awesome!!

—Dr. Niketa

Amazing Deb, I knew you were into mountain climbing and trekking but not hardcore like this. I loved the site. Keep it up and all the best.

—Mahashweta Biswas

Having seen the images on a projector, i think the place is surreal and it’s amazing that normal people who work day in and day out in a corporate scenario could pull it off.

—Maneet Agarwal

I read the ebook & agree with Arun completely. The emotion that has stayed with me is ‘vicarious pleasure’. I can actually explore without moving out of my geography. Theres an ocean of difference between want and need, which gets … Continue reading

Hey Deb, it’s really pioneering and very inspiring what you have set to do and have already done with 18days. I just love the site. All the best to you.

Dude you inspire me. Had put off reading this for quite some time, but really enjoyed myself. Any words i use would not do justice to your master-piece.

—Ranjit Mittra

The pictures – stunning as they already are – assume so much more meaning because your writing has captured what it means to be there. Really nice read Deb. Cheers.

—Kaushik Iyer

There is romance in every successful adventure, and that is very evident from your experience and this site. What I like is the fact that you were prepared for the ‘grandness’ and hence we see the fantastic stills and can … Continue reading

Life is a string of discoveries. Today’s has been you as a mountaineer. Here, I had put you as an ardent treker of the mountain of red tape and files. Congrats Bro. Take it higher.

Beautiful Pics mate- inspired to read the eBook, am saving the link to get to it in due course 🙂 Great work & good luck with whatever comes next.

—Kshitij Mulay

Hello, need more photos man but even otherwise it’s fantastic. Keep it up dude.

The images are expansive and yet the vastness of the landscapes are humbling. The text can surely be better. Your narration should as devoid of emotion and sentiment as possible or it should be singularly emotion account. But all in … Continue reading

I “almost still remember” that day when you called me & expressed your desire to go to Ladakh. I wondered “why would he want to do it. He does not seem like a guy who will choose to.” You have … Continue reading

Thanks for the intro in your website. The website is interesting, a good mix of personal feelings and the mountain experience! Though took sometime to figure out what was happenning. Had to put your frame of mind in perspective to … Continue reading

Brilliant. I loved your site. It’s a very good concept and the copy was brilliant. Anybody who is in love with the himalayas would relate to it. Would love to contribute in any way i can. Been trekking in Uttaranchal … Continue reading

—Anurag Jetley

Awesome dude. Breathtaking. Well done! I say ol’ boy.

—Akash Joshi

The visuals are messmerising! They take our breath away. They really are a work of art. The font is a little small. It’s difficult to read really. But a marvellous piece of work. Nurture your talent further.

—Leena Sen

Awesome pictures and breath-taking scenery. Deb, you’ve been brave in attempting to explore the HImalayas. Some of us can only look at pictures and dream. Good luck to you in your future expeditions!

—Rajesh Balpande

I read the e-book — more accurately, I soaked in the visuals and the text. I could use words like “stunning” and “lush” for your visuals but it would be like pimping a dinner menu in a magazine restaurant review: … Continue reading

I was skeptical initially – not because I did not want to “read” …but because I did not want to open a website which reminds me of the greatness and infiniteness of human potential, while I sit on my chair … Continue reading
